GENERAL ELECTION. (From the Times of Monday.) According to the announcements in the various public journals by candidates for scats in the next parliament, 230 seats will bo assailed. Of this number 157 are now held by VVliigs, and the remainder, 173, are held by Conservatives, showing that the Conservatives will contest 84 more scats than their opponents. In England and Wales there will be Whig seats contested. 121 Scotland. J 5 Ireland 21 157 Of Conservative seatsthrre will be contested in England and Wales, about v. 57 Scotland 6 Ireland 10 73 These facts need no comment. But of the 150 seats assailed hy Conservatives they have already succeeded in obtaining 25 without a contest, the former members admitting they could not succeed, having reiiiiquilied-,ts follows: Mr Buller, North Stafforfishirc Mr Campbell, Argyleshiro Mr Cavendish, East Sussex Mr Elliott, Roxburghshire Mr Handlev, } Mr Heathcote, L,lico'nslllr0 Sir C. Lemon, West Cornwall Lord G. Lennox, West Sussex Mr Hector, Petersfield Mr Moreton, East Gloucestershire Lord C. Russell, Bedfordshire Mr Sanford, West Somersetshire Mr Spencer, Midhurst Mr Strangways, Dorsetshire Earl of Surrey, West Sussex Mr Townlev, Cambridgeshire Sir Harry Verney, Buckingham Sir H. Vivian, East Cornwall. Captain Wilmington, \Vest Worcestershire Mr Stewart, llonitcn Mr Briscoe, Westbury Mr Serjeant Wilde, Newark Mr Langd.ile, ) u- Air Ricii, I Kti,-iresborougli Mr Price, Herefordshire Of the 73 Conservative seats assailed by Whigs, Caithncsshire is the only place likely to be relinquished by the Conservatives to their opponents. Cricklade alone has been already abarulotlcd. If fiefoi-c a contest, therefore,95 seats are abandoned by the Wiiigs, resistance being utterly useless, the result of the contest for the remaining 132 scats assailed by the Conservatives may bo confidently anticipated. And yet, with these facts before tho Conservative electors, they leave Middlesex, IVest Surrey, East Somerset- shire, the North Riding of Yorkshire, North Durham, North Derbyshire, North and South Northumberland, North Staffordshire, and North Hampshire, totally unassailcd. The Conservative members in the late parliament for Middlesex, West Surrey, and the places just enumerated, ought not to compromise with their opponents, who are too ready to do so to save their seats. They ought not to suffer the re- presentation to be neutralised, since by so doing they are mainly instrumental in preventing the Conser- vative electors from expressing their opinion on the great question now at issue—" the waut of confidence in ministers.

A quidnunc meeting an alarmist the other day asked him if lie had heard the news from the north? He answered anxiously that lie had not. "Why," said his questioner, I hear that they are in such a state that the very children are in arms!" c, Oh!" said the other, walking off. SMAi^'Woon's NIACAZI-;IT. We have received the July number of this talented periodical, but at too late an hour to notice it in a proper manner; however, we may fearlessly recommend it to our readers, as if it bears that companionship with the already published numbers, which we have a right to expect, it will yield them a most agreeable intel- lectual enjoyment. We shall notice it more at length next week. Tho Herald Steamer, of St Ives, Cornwall, will not leave Bristol between the 2d and 16th of July in consequence of some slight alteration. LAST GLIMPSE OF THE PRESIDEST. -The packet ship Orpheus, Captain Cole, which sailed hence on tho lItll March, in company with the ill fated President, arrived yesterday from Liverpool. Captain Cole had the last glimpse of the steamer on the morning of the 12th of March, the day before the most terrific gale that ever blew on our coast. Nothing has been heard or seen of her since that morning, unless the wreck seen by Captain Bowman was her. Many and many a person will remember that dreadful gale, which raged for two days, the 13th and 14th of March, strewing the broad Atlantic for miles with spars, masts, hulls, and wrecks of all kinds. Captain Cole said ho never experienced such another. So strong did the wind blow, that it took the sails, furled tightly on the yards of the Orpheus, complelv off, and tore them into rags. And Captain' Comstock, of the steamer Massachusetts who was in Long Island Sound on the first night, reports that he never passed through such a night. That he and all his passengers were saved was a mira- cle. Several of the passengers say that they arc indebted to the skill and coolness of the Captain for their lives. We give these facts to show the severity of tho gale the President, with her heavy bulky machinery, had to encounter when only two days out. -New York Paper, June 1. IMPORTATION OF CATTLE AND MEAT FROM SCOTLAND.—Large importations of cattle aud meat from Scotland per steam and sailing vessels continue almost daily. Yesteidoy the Perth steam ship, from Dundee, landed at Hore's wharf 70 bullock" and 300 sheep; the Royal Adelaid, from Leith, which arrived at St. Katharine's in the morning, brought up 3d hampers of beef and mutton, consigned to Newgate market, each hamper containing half a ton of meat. The Duchess of Suiherland steamer, from Aberdeen, which came into the river on Wednesday, landed the unusually larg-e number of 167 bullocks, besides sheep and pigs. The Manchester steamer, from Berwick, in thcearly part of the week, brought 40 oxen besides 8 large luciutit7 of dead meat,

TO CORRESPONDENTS.

MERTHYR TYDVIL, AND BRECON, July 3, 1S41. It will he seen by a notice in otir paper of to-day that the friends of Lord ADAIIR art requested to meet at Ewenny Bridge, on Friday next, to escort his Lordship to the place of elec- tion, and we are sure that the simple announce- ment"ofthe fact will assemble round the nobli Lord on this important occasion such an arraj of the rank, intelligence, and property of thi, great county as cannot fail to be in the mos' eminent degree gratifying to his LordshipV feelings, by demonstrating to him and to the empire the unbounded confidence, respect, and affection with which he is regarded by the Con scrvative freeholders of Glamorganshire—a body whom the most illustrious might well be ambitious to represent—as well as their profound sense of gratitude for the valuable services which he has rendered to them in the Senate; and in so doing they will manifest that that high Conservative spirit which led them to make choice of his Lordship still burns in them not only with unfading but increased warmth and lustre, and that their principles are as un- changed as their honour is un.-mllied. Honour to whom honour

The elections are progressing every where more successfully for the constitutional cause than, in face of the corrupt influences of all kinds, and the Treasury gold prodigally dispersed, all brought to bear against and upon the consti- tuencies, could havo been anticipated. The city of London, first and foremost in the field, did its duty nobly, although short of what was calculated on by sanguine politicians. Two out of the four returns were wrested from destruc- tive hands, nnd it may be doubted yet whether Lord JOHN, lowest on the poll of those returned by the Sheriffs as he is, will be able to keep his seat if a scrutiny be demanded and persevered in. Mr WOLVEHLEY ATTWOOD hints broadly in his address that the seat is snrreptitiotlsly occu- pied, and that Lord JOHN one of these days may be compelled to surrender it. When it is con- sidered that the unprincipled Committee by which his election was conducted were guilty of the flagitious forgery, for it was nothing less, of making a wholesale addition to the numbers on his poll of more th in one hundred votes as if polled, for the purpose ot inspiriting his parti- zans during the last hour, and inducing the wa- vering to record thoir votes in his favour by seeing him in a winning position at the head of poll, that the wonder perhaps should be that fraud was not more successful, and that the con- stituency approved themselves so true to their principles and so determined in their hostility to the Whig Radical Government. We must not forget that this was the first time in the memory of man that a Minister of State, and the son of a Duke as well, was ever presented as a can- didate for the electoral honours of the city of London, and that no inconsiderable portion of the community, of principles not sufficiently inflexible and unbending, were doubtless tickled by this straw into the compromise of opinions, by giving one vote to the lord,made up for to their consciences by the record of the other three to the Conservatives. We have heard of weak-minded men of this sort, who are clearly incapable of comprehending the grave responsibility of the charge committed to them in the exercise of a franchise which is in the nature of a trust, not held for the gratification of ca- prices and prejudices, but for the advantage of society at large. Taking the event as we find it, no man, however blind and bigot'ed in party spirit, will venture to assert that Lord JOIlN IVUSSKLL has achieved honour by his incursion into the city of London, whilst, on the contrary, svery one capable of an impartial estimate of all circumstances under which he was brought forward the boastful jactations of the party of which he is the head; the confident predictions of his own press; and last, though not least, the saying of Lord MELBOUKNE himself, that the return of Lord JOHN would be equal to a defeat instead of a triumph of principles, unless he were brought in at the head of the poll by a majority of hundreds—must be led to the infallible conclusion that a majority of NINE, and his location as the lowest of all the success- ful candidates on the poll, is not the victory of which a Iinistcr should be proud, nor the post which a great statesman would deem that of honour. For time past Lord JOII has been yearly practising in the art of sinking/' but it is scarcely possible now, degraded as he is in the result of this his grand appeal to the city and the empire, as ostentatiously paraded by himself in his opening manifesto to the electors, that he can sink to a lower depth still." And so here we leave him. The triumph of Westminster was even more signal than that of the City of London, because more unexpected and least prepared for. So desperate seemed the attempt to storm that ancient stronghold of rampant Radicalism, that not a volunteer could be found to lead the forlorn hope. Many were tried, but all found wanting in spirit, until by a happy chance the Hon. Captain Rous, R.N., with the reckless daring of a British tar, combined with the coolness of a commander and the dauntless perseverance of a true patriot, undertook the apparently hopeless enterprise, amidst the taunts and jeers of foes and the lukewarm and scarcely wreathed eucouragement of friends. Onward he pressed in his course, returning scorn for the one, and hourly reanimating into entlllt- siasm the long decayed energies of the other. The consummation was all that a brave follower of the profession of NnsoN could desire. Radical renegade EVANS was chased from the representation of Westminster by the noble tar, as ignominiously as from the battle field of Hernani before, by the half armed, ragged bands of Don CARLOS and retribution was doubly lealt out to )he apostate who sold himself and his constituents for Ministerial honours if not gold by the preferential selection, after the gal- lant Captain who headed the poll of his late colleague, Mr LEADER, a Radical also as Evans once was, but, more honest than he, a Radical who had not ratted. Whilst abroad we are surrounded with multi- plied evidence of the progress of constitutional irinciples, and cheering omens of their ultimate triumph in the Parliament about to assemble, at home we are not without hope and consolation, although we may not boast of having fought the good fight as well as our neighbours across the border, or disenthralled ourselves in some places from the bondage which has too long weighed heavily on the happiness and interests of the people. Cardiff has indeed returned its faithful servant Dr NICHOLI but Swansea remains tainted with modern Whiggery, and Merthyr, with which a baronetcy has already been pur- chased, is still held as a passport to a peerage. The gratitude of Sir J. J. GVIST should have led I him to mitigate the hardships of the New Poor Law barbarism in the interesta of humanity and the working classes, to whom in reality he owes all he was, is now, or ever may become but his gratitude is reserved as a monopoly for the givers of baronial honours and all other good things. He will be found, as before, voting through thick and through thin that black is white with JoSEPH HUME and his ministerial patrons. In the mean time we are in some sort recompensed in another and far higher quarter for the disappointment. Glamorgan is not a rotten borough, though Merthyr is in a fair way to become one; and Mr TALBOT npbly burst the Whig; trapuncl in "hid, .Q:V';A.n.¡!IR8løaMWCl!l:ill too long and too degradingly held for the head of the MANSEIXS. He has declared bcd-lly against the hollow schemes and the destruc- tive delusions of the Wiiig-R tdical Govern- ment with which he has been so long till ed. They have cast to the winds the last rag of > ha- racter by which they contrived hypocritically to impose on a few lingering Whi^ adherents of the old school, and so Mr TALBOT has aban clolled them. His banner is up for those agri- cultural interests which above all should be dear to him, and for those time honoured neighbours and tcn:Hlts who clJlIjde in him. But he is not the man to forget also that trading interests are sympathetically bouud up wilh the land, and therefore it is that lie wiUnol consent to level agriculture, in the vain belief that manu- factures would flourish on its ruins. We hail with pleasure the accession to the good cause of that philosophic mind which breathes in his address to the electors cf Glamorgan; but let him not forget, whilst eschewing party and the feelings of a pnrhxnn, that the great party of the country is that for which the country is now loudly pronouncing. It is not Whig; it is not Tory; it is the high and holy party of Conser- vatism and the Constitution. -TIo>o_-

On .V; it tin lay forenoon, iloollt half past II o'clock her Majesty the Queen Dowasjer, accompanied by lior Syrette Highness tin* Grand Duchess Ida of Ssixc Weimar, arrived in an open carriage drawn by four horses, with postillions, and preceded by two out- riders, at Marlborough House, Fall Mall, from Busliey Park. We rejoice to say her Majesty, who with lu-r illustrious relative returned to Bushev in the afternoon, looke.l remarkably well. THE CHURCH.—We hail the pleasure to notice in ollr column*, hst week," the nsunifiooiit donation of £ 500, pivsented by li r Majesty the Queen Dowager to tije almost exhausted funds of the Incorporated Society for the linlargi-nu-nt, Building, and Repairing of Churches and Chapels; and we have now the s.tti-factionto record a contribution from his Grace society, and this in addition to a former one of the same amount frolll hii race, also a donation of ..£3ÙO from Mr Foster; one from the Hon Mr Vernon Harcourt of ^100; another of the same amount from an anonymous donor, whose signature is "C.C. and one from the Provost of King's College, Cam- bridge, of £75 in addition to two former donations from the same rev eentleinan. It would give us great satisfaction to find such good examples followed up in so good a cause by the opulent laymell of our own church. IOPISCOPAL CHURCH IS JBRI'SALFM.—The Malta Times says:—"Some fortnight ago, the Hev Mr Nicolayson and Mr Johns ( in architect) were at Malta on their way to Jerusalem, with the object of erecting an Episcopal Church, at the Holy City. Our cor- respondent mentions that Mr Nicolayson had arrived at Constantinople, with instructions from Lord Pal- merston to obtain, through the British Ambassador, a firman for the erection of this church, who, it is said, is making every effort to procure tho necessary sanction of the Porte." WESTMINSTER ARBKY.—The Dean and Chapter of Westminster, in fulfilment of intentions long entertained, have made suc i alterations in Ihe terms of admission to Westminster Abbey, as will enable visitors to see the whole of the interior for fid., or the nave and transepts only for 3d. They have-placed the regulations under the superintendence of the High Constable of Westminster, who will be in constant attendance at tho appointed hours, awi tn whom iln- mediate reference of any comph illt is to be made. LAW OF MAIUIMOF;. — Some ambiguity having arisen, through the brevity of the report of what fell from the BUhop of Lhitidafr on the occasion of pre- senting a petition in the House of Lords, praying for a revision of the marriage laws, a correspondent has transmitted to us a letter from his IvrtMiip, in which he slates what he really said. Tho following is an extract from that letter:—"I observed that the petition was probably entrusted to me in consequence of my having declared without hesitation that the inarria^o of the sister of a deceased wife was not prohibited by the Lcvitieal law. I went on to say, that neither did I regard it as forbidden by the law of nature, nor indeed, as fur as my experience went, was it condemned as a moral offence by public opinion in this country. Still, as many objections had been advanced against any relaxation of the law in that particular' by a Right Hev. Prelate, whose opinions were disserving of the highest respect, I must not be cIIlIsllkred a" all advocate for the lIIeasure ill presenting this petition. It was a measure connected with many interests of the deepest importance, and ought lIot to be adopted by the Legislature without tho most mature deliberation. Such, as far as I recol- Irct.

Divisiovs.—The number of divisions which have taken place upon various public and private billsin the House of Commons during the past session altogether ( amounts to 10.9; of which no less than 19 wcre upiln the Poor Law Amendment Bill, nine on tho County Coroners' Bill, the on the Punishment of Death Bill", and six on Lord Morpeth's Irish Registration Hill. Our correspondent sends us the particulars, as sworn by the injured parties before our Consul at Cadiz, of a case of apparently verv flagrant outrage committed by a Spanish guarda costa, called the Terrible, on one of the Gibralter traders, the Aguihi. This vessel left Gibraltar early on the 2d instant, hound for Bayontie, with regular papers, signed by the French Consul at Gibraltar, and had proceeded to the south coast of Portugal, when, on the 31, then being as the affidavit states, some 36 to 10 n iles from land, and. as we learn, opposite Cape St Mary AIgarve, a shot was fired at i her by the Terrib'e, and nfterwaids another, when she brought to, and was taken possession of by the guarda costa, carried into Cadiz, and the master and some of the crew thrown into p.ison, alter having refused several offers of escape, to facilitate which it appears money would have been given by tin; captors, who wished to he Ie t with the prize, and without more trouble. The statement sworn before our Consul has been transmitted to Sir Alexander Woodford, at Gibraltar, and it was expected that the Thunderer, Captain Berkeley, would look in at Cadiz, on her way to England, in order to make further inquiry into the business. — Morning Chronicle.

GREAT WKSTERS RAILWAY.-Thisunrivalled line, now on the eve of completion, was opened throughout on Wednesday last. London is thus brought within about four hours distance (if the term may be used) of Bristol, and by the continuation line within 5 hours of Uridgewater, The fares are very moderate, and passengers have no vex itious fees to pay in addition. Travelling 011 this line is a perfect luxury, not merely on account of tho speed obtained by the broad gauge and machinery of the first clas-, but by the feeling that perfect safety is ensured (as far as human effort can a,vail) by the admirable construction of the works; which also is enhanced by the enjoyment of ease and comfort, arising from the equable motion of the car- riages, such as can be experienced on no other line. THE HAT TIIAUE.—-More than five thousand per- sons who havo been out 01 employ for sixteen weeks ill consequence of the hatters' sti ike, are now returned to their work at the old prices, which is the saroe as they have been receiving for many years past. The attempt to raise the price of is therefore pre- vented, The non employment of the above persons hss been the means of forty thousand pounds being out of circulation that would have been paid for wages.

The coiliers of Ciumlin, Risca, Oelligaer, and Blackwood, have joined their brethren at Tredegar per pound for beef, mutton, or veal. They arc now using bacon, immense quantities of which have arrived from Bristol, Gloucester, and Cardigan. We understand that some have already fouud out with regard to salt meat that enough is as good as a feast. On Saturday last, the Misses Tyrell, daughters of Sir John lyrell, of ISorchain House, were on their way home in a phaeton with a pair of horses, when one of the animals got its leg over the bar, and both ran away, kicking most alarmingly. A young man, named David Chessoti, a bricklayer, observing the peril in which the ladies were placed, most raise- worthily seized the trace, and, after being drawn a considerable distance, succeeded in stopping the animals near Springfield Lyons, happily without any other injury than that sustained by tho carriage and liurscs, which is considerable,—Qhclrmfor^ Chronicle,

CARDIFF ELECTION. Wednesday last having been the day appointed tho Mayor of Cardiff for tho nomination burgess represent the united boroughs of Cardiff, Co* bridge, and L!antris<ent, which was to be done 1,1 tho Town Hall, Cardiff, the town was early astir to) take part in the interesting business of tin; day. I At eleven o'clock, the Mayor having taken thecbai' as Returning Officer, tho doors were tiir -«n open ai" shortly after John Nicholl, Esq the Ir.te represcn"1* | tive, accompanied by a number of gentlemen of fluence a:?d property in the neighbourhood and from distance, entered t'ne hall amid the of thousancls. the Portreeve of Lhiutrissent, were also present, :lS required by law..1 A fir r the Town Cieik. K. P. Richards, Esq., h--1'1 | read the documents required lo be read on such oc* casions, I L. Traherne, Ksq rose and said that it gave | much pleasure to propose to tlieni a gentleman wli" had enjoyed their confidence in a high degree, and had enjoyed their confidence in a high II was sure that that confidence had not been withdraw" when he. considered the attention wh'ch he had b«' stowed on every matt-r relating to their interest- and the effective manner in which he had discharge1 hisdu!y in Parliament. He need not say more t" | them than propose as a fit and proper person to rt" present them in parliament their late member, Jol''1 Nicholl, fvq., D C.L (loud cheers). Richard Hill, Esq., said he felt the highest gratih' cation it) seconding tiie nomination of Mr Nicholl. I was sure that he possessed their entire confidence, all.1 he knew that lie was in every way deserving of lC (loud ch.'crs). The Mayor, David Evans, Esq., then inquired «he* ther there was any other candidate to bo put in "O* initiation. No answer being returned, and his worship having waited a sufficient time, lie said as no perso" appeared to oppose the election of Mr Niclioll, I became his duty now to declare that he had been ,lul1 I clected to serve in Parliamcnt for the united borough* | of Cardiff, Cowbridge, and L'antrissent, and lie 1 elected accordingly. (This announcement was re* | ceived with the liveliest demonstrations of joy »<•' satisfaction, and the hall rang with tl.eir plaudits) Silence having been at last obtained, the newlf j elected membercamo forward amid a storm of apphius1"' j and addressed them. | Dr Nicholl said—If there is any task more agree* able to a man than another it is that of returning thanks for favours received, for kindness bestowe'b | and confidence given, and therefore it was with th" I greatest possible pleasure that he returned them I'1* 1 most grateful thanks, which lie did from the I of bis soul. It was now eight years since he first presented himself before them as a candidate, and l'c J could not reproach himself with having violated the'' '• confidence, as he had broken 110 pledge, for in truth j- pledge had been exacted from him. He had promised | tliein to do his duty, and he had endeavoured to th0 best of his abilities to perform his promise. This l,fl I knew, that he had conscientiously, zealously, and fail'1* fully laboured in their service (loud cheers). I would inako 110 apology for tho past, and indec'J J they would require none from hiin. He had consulted in his parliamentary conduct the interests of tho etii' in his parliamentary conduct the interests of tho Pllli plrl and those of his constituents, and his votes had ever been conscientiously given for the benefit of country. If ho was mistaken in his view of the severed questions which had come before parliament, lie was conscientiously mistaken. Under the circumstance* of his beinij unanimously elected he should abstai" from all political topics, but ho might mention a poi"' where lie differed from those with whom he usual'/ voted, that was with regard to the question of pr'* vilege, and on that question his name would ever he | found in the minority, as he considered that the had exceeded its authority, and he was happy to s1 that at last the Attorney General himself took hi* (Dr. Nichoil's) view of tho case, and the house, by a majority of votes, decided it according to his opinion- He would now, with their permission, state his idea "» the duty of a Member of Parliament- It was his duty the duty of a Member of Parliament- It was his duty to uphold the privileges aud prerogatives of tbcerow"? it was his duty to guard the honour of the British name at home and abroad it was his duty to maintain a sufficient military and naval forco, to defend "s from all our foreign foes, whether in the north of I the south, or nearer to our own shores; it was hi* duty to preserve 1 ho legislative union of this count'/ with Ireland, against all who sought to destroy it; it was his duty to support and preserve tho Established Church of England, atid to give full, just, and impaf* tial protection to all classes, but particularly to agricultural to rest all the others. With respect to tho corn la* it was of nbsolute necessity to maintain it as a secuiO means of supplying bread in peace and in war for tblt vast population. This was a matter that was not i" the eotilroul of man, as it depended on tho lieason whether there was to ho abundance or scarcity, 1\11(1 the inevitable consequence of this was to fhu" tuations in the prices of corn. He then ailuded to 1\11 article in the Quarterly Revi w, aud said that that article stated that you could not make any road 5') level that a carriage would not jar in passing over but that by the use of springs you could so adjust thO carriage that tho effect of any shock would not felt, anrt this observation might bo extended to the protection given by the com laws. It was at preset his lirm conviction that those laws were of tiie necessity for our security and protection from horrors of famine; but he wou Irlnot undertake to ss/ that if sound arguments could be advanced to lIalÍ5f1 him that the present scale wag too extended, that would not consent to an alteration. But at present lie saw no reason to think that ho should alter I''5* opinion. He had been diverted from his course by consideration of this suhjt ct, and should uow return his statement as to what he deemed tho dutioa of 11 Member of Parliament. The Crown had rights with;'1 lie was bouud to uphold, but be must also bear [ mind tlmt the people likewise had rights which he bound to protect, and by the people, be meant every person of all classes under tho Crown, from the Co"* sort of the Queen to tho peasant in the field, whetf1^ those persons were landholders or merchants, 0r man0" faciurcrs, or traders, or whatever situation in life tin'/ filled, for he was the Representative not of a class °( a sect, but of all, ami so help him God he would 10 1 the best of his ability support Hie interests of all the-"0 | who bad confided in him on this occasion. He ( conscious that he differed from many of his constituent j on important subjects, but ho bad received so kindnesses and so much oourtesy at their hands, that \to I felt tho greatest gratitude to them. lie hoped he fr" ) alike to all, as ho was tho representative of all. j concluded with saying that be would take an tunity of presenting to each and allof hisoanstituenW' [ at an early period, those thanks wliioh he now begg0" to present to them generally. He thanked them wf" all his heart. j The lion, member was frequently cheered In I course of his speech, and when ho bad concluded h waa conducted from the hall, and immediately pHc<1y I in a clmir decorated with flowers, and borne thro" J the town, being every where reoeivc-d with tbo war"1* | «st greetings. It was a universal holiday, and I fineness of the weather enabled the people to enjoy

THE DISKSIt. I We should rather say dinners, for there were fjITC" so many different houses, and the persons who dinft. altogether amounted to about 400.
